[Man Narrating]
people...

trapped by
international t*rrorists.

They had no hope.
That is, until...

- Eh.
- [Narrator]Jackée is passenger .

Drop 'em.

All right. You make one move,
and I'll blow your head off.

Oh, I like the sound of that.

Oh, look. I broke a nail.

Anybody got a Lee Press-on?
Where's Mary?

Who the hell are you?

Oh, I'm Sandra, airline security.

Now, what's a good-looking t*rror1st like you
doing hijacking a plane like this?

Airline security? What is this,
some kind of a joke or something?

No, it's your worst nightmare.

But if you play your cards right...

it might be your dream come true,
tall, dark and handsome.

Eh, I get off at : .

Look. I have an idea.

I'll keep them covered,
you go down and de-fuel the plane...

and then when it's low enough,
jump out of the baggage compartment...

run to the control tower and
tell them what's going on here.

Then you can come back
and save the day.

Are you crazy? You been watching
too many Wesley Snipes movies.

- Who?
- You know Wes...

Tall, dark and...
Never mind.

You just make yourself useful,
get somebody a pillow or something.

We have you now,
funny, sitcom woman.

- Look what you did.
- Now the shoe's on the other foot,
Miss Airline Security.

[Phone Buzzes]

Hello?
It's the control tower.

Now it's time
to meet my demands.

I want $ , cash.
I want a passports. And l...

Hold on a second,
there's another call coming through.

Hello?

- It's for you.
- Oh.

Hello? Oh, hey, Mary.
It's... Oh.

No, I didn't teach your daughter
to do that thing with her tongue.

I think Rose did.

No, I don't think so,
but I'll ask him anyway. Bye, Mary.

Now, uh, would you be interested
in, uh, having dinner?

I have no time for you, lady.

Oh, how dare you!
In that case.

Oh, look over there.

- [Yells]
- Eh.

[Narrator]
Coming this fall from Fox.

Jackée is passenger .

I'm Cathy Williams for Fox News
here at the White House.

We're talking with Milt Kellerman,
President Clinton's lead economic adviser.

Tell me, Mr. Kellerman, what is the main
focus of the committee going to be...

during this next fiscal year?

Well, Cathy. Things aren't going to be
as simple as they seem at first.

There are a lot of factors
to be taken into account.

Whenever you're going to try to balance
the budget, there are several ways to do it.

Now, we're going to have to concentrate
on the approaches...

that will best suit the American people without
compromising the current financial security.

Tell me, will there be large cuts
in Medicaid and Social Security?

Well, now, that's a very
complicated question.

Although there will have to be some substantial
cuts in government aided programs...

there will also be tax breaks
for the elderly in need.

Now, I'm not saying that
this is going to be easy.

There are sacrifices
that need to be made.

But if we all pull together...

I truly believe we can bring this to
a conclusion that's amenable to all parties.

Your critics say that these are the exact
same policies that have failed in the past.

How would you respond to that?

Well, now, I've addressed
this point over and over again.

The issue is not
what has failed in the past...

but what will work
in the future.

You know, we want to stop worrying
about what is behind us and look ahead.

Last week, the Dow
plummeted points.

Are you concerned with the current
volatile state of the stock market?

Well, now, what we're seeing
is a short-term readjustment.

The stock market is traditionally
influenced by world events.

Recent troubles in the Middle East,
the decline of the Deutsche Mark...

you're bound to see
some temporary instability.

What sort of a timetable
are we looking at here?

Well, these things
can't be rushed.

You must be patient.
Let the current recession run its course.

And then we will be ready to tackle
this p-problem with total equanimity.

In closing, Mr. Kellerman, can this plan work?
Can this council make a difference?

[Chuckles]
Well, let me just say this.

We know that there are people
out there who are hurting.

I can stand up here
all day and say...

"Things are going
to get better."

But see, that's not going to help
that man in Trenton, New Jersey...

who just lost his job.

We'll put our best minds to the task
and then run it up the flagpole...

and see if it's
wearing panties.

Thank you, Mr. Kellerman.
We certainly wish you luck with that.

This is Cathy Williams
reporting from the White House.

[Male Announcer] Welcome to
The Dysfunctional Home Show.

Now here's your host,
Grandpa Jack McGee.

Hi. How's it going?

It's good to
have you back again.

Guess what.
It's my little girl's wedding day.

And I'm gonna show you how you can
throw a dysfunctional wedding...

in the privacy of your own home.

[Belches]

'Cause you gotta
learn how sometime.

Now, it's customary for the father...
[Grunting]

For the father to make
peace with the groom.

Hey, Tyrell!
Come here, Tyrell!

- Come here, son. Where are you?
- Hey, hey, hey, man.

Don't be callin' my name all out loud.
I got police looking for me, man.

- Why don't you chill a little?
- Hey, cool it, jack.

I know the g*ng sign.

Listen, son. I just want you
to know that I love you.

I think you're a hell of a guy...

and I hope you have lots of luck...

with my beautiful,
innocent daughter.

You black bastard,
I'll k*ll you.

- Hey, hey...
- I'll k*ll you! I'll k*ll him!

I'll k*ll him!

Oh, you want to fight, yeah?

Y'all wanna fight?
Come on, you crazy...

Places, everyone.
We're ready to get started.

- Where's the music?
- Hey, don't you worry about that, Father.

I got it under control.

Of my entire...

[Hacks]

- Get out of here!
- The bride and groom have elected
to write their own vows.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, Tyrell, I think you're great.

Uh, and I promise to stop chewing loud
and making you mad.

And I promise not to sleep
with any more of your friends.

Except when you tell me to.

- Tyrell?
- Oh, yeah. Uh.

Yo, look. Just don't be
pissing me off, all right?

And so, by the power vested in me...

Ow! Ow!
My water broke!

She's always breaking something.

By the power vested in me,
I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may now
deliver the baby.

[Sighs]

Ladies, everything is in order
for tonight's performance.

Oh, cities in eight days.
Girl, I am tired.

I can't wait to go home.

Yeah, this tour has taken
a lot out of me.

I mean, the fans are great and everything,
but it can really get crazy out there.

- Thank God we're up here in the penthouse.
- I know.

Dawn, why don't you open the window
and get a breeze going in here?

- That's a good idea.
- I'm hot.

No! Oh, my God!
Turn your eyes!

[Screaming]

Mooning us!

I think somebody's got their
bare ass up on the window.

Oh, these fans
will stop at nothing.

Security!
I'm in Room , man.

We got a damn
wildebeest up in here.

Will somebody let her in?
She could get k*lled out there.

Hey.

Will you take my hand? Dog,
can't you take somebody's hand?

How y'all doing? I'm glad
y'all came to the window.

I was drawing a crowd and stuff
that was lookin' all up at my stuff.

They probably thought
you were Queen Kong.

- Excuse me?
- Wait a minute.

- Wanda?
- Girl, yes. It's me, in the flush.

- You know this thing?
- Excuse me, it's Miss Thing to you.

Not only do I know them,
but we all started out together.

'Cause I used to be
their "choreogriphany."

You know, when I was gettin'
all their dance steps together.

How you doin', girl?
You look good.

- Uh, listen, Wombat,
Wolverine, whoever you are.
- That's what you better do.

Wait a minute.
Wanda's not lying.

She really did use
to be a part of this group.

See that? You don't even know.
See, because...

No, because we started out.
You know "Hold on to Your Love"?

See, we started out.
I wrote that.

It used to be called " Hold on to your
Hot, Sweaty Monkey Love."

But see, y'all been dissin' me,
'cause when y'all was leavin'...

to go to Philly in the bus,
I was tryin' to catch up with y'all.

I was in the street.
Y'all almost ran over me.

- Wanda, that was you?
- That sure enough was.

It was his fault.

He told us that he almost
ran over this coyote in a big, blue dress.

He's so crazy.
It was the red dress.

- But, Wanda, I thought you went solo.
- Yeah, that's right. I did.

I've been singing down at Billy's Barbecue
and Check Cashing Place.

No, really. No.
My career is really jumping.

I sung the national anthem
at Slauson Swap Meet.

Everybody was crowding around,
telling me:

♪ Go Wanda, Go Wanda
It's your birthday It's your birthday ♪♪

You know, and stuff.

Wanda, if you're doing so well,
what you want with us?

Oh, well, I got to get paid. I need some
of that Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche money.

- You know what I'm saying?
- Wait a minute.

Are you saying you
want to sing with us?

I didn't think y'all was
gonna ask me that quick.

I was just thinking we could be like the
Jacksons. I could be like Michael, you know.

Yeah, more like Bubbles.

Wait a minute. First of all, why you got
so many words and all this stuff for me?

- What's wrong with you?
- Yo, look. Come on, lady.
I don't care who you are.

Wait a minute.

What is wrong with you? You don't be
putting your hands on me. You ain't my mama.

Okay, man. But, you know,
things kind of got out of hand.

- Who's leaving?
- Ow! You are.

- Who's leaving?
- Ow! I am!

Then you better get on
and get on up out of here.

Mm-mmm, yep.
That's Wanda.

I gotta talk to y'all now. I don't mean
to be hurtin' nobody's feelings...

but I just had to say, you know,
just 'cause y'all living good...

and y'all hair is-is
fine and stuff...

and y'all get to eat all good
food like "scrimps" and stuff...

and y'all be riding
in "Mercredeeses" and B.M.W.'s...

and all that other kind of stuff,
that don't mean nothing.

Y'all ain't no better than I am.

'Cause y'all put y'all drawers on
one day at a time just like I do.

For real.

Now, wait a minute, Wanda.
That is where you're wrong.

You don't put your drawers on
one day at a time?

Y'all nasty. That's why
they call y'all funky divas.

Now, look, don't you be giving us
none of your attitude either.

What you wanna do, light-skin?
Let's go.

Okay. I'll knock your lips off.

There they are.
There they are.

Come on.
Come over here.

- What you wanna do, Cindy?
- Uh-huh.

- Ladies, calm down.
- She don't know nothing about me.

Now, Wanda, our careers
did not come easy, okay?

We worked hard
for everything we have.

Right, honey.
We paid our dues.

Well, I know y'all didn't
get it on y'all good looks...

'cause that's why y'all kicked me out
the group, 'cause y'all was mad and stuff...

'cause I was takin' all y'all men.

'Cause I'm something to look at.

Look, we've got our own thing...

you ain't a part of it,
and I'm just... I'm sorry.

Hey, look. I ain't tryin'
to get all in y'all's stuff.

I'm just sayin', why don't we just sing
some songs like we used to up at Oaktown?

You know, Oaktown,
like we used to do it.

- Can't we just do it one more time?
- [Whispering]

Guys, yeah. Just one song.

Oh, girl, I got my dress on too.

Yeah, that's what I say.

Oh, let's get in position and stuff.
Okay, uh.

- Do I have to be over in the back
like y'all used to make me do?
- No, no, no.

- No, you can stay right there.
- Oh, sh**t.

I tell you what, uh,
I'll start the tune off.

really fun singing with you again, but...

[All]
We "ret" to go.

But if you ever need anything, and we can
do something for you, you just ask us.
